About the Shape - Sujihiki

The Sujihiki (筋引) literally translates to "tendon slicer", meaning it is intended for slicing boneless protein such as meat or fish, or terrines. The thin and short height profile reduces friction when slicing.

About the Steel - Aogami Super

Many knife makers see this steel as one of the best steels to work with. Special care must be taken as knives made with this steel is prone to rust.

About the Finish - Kurouchi

Kurouchi (黒打ち) refers to the darkened steel surface as a result from the forging process which forms a coating of oxide. It is the most rusting finish of all but gives knives a traditional character.
